Here in retirement land it's an appropriately grey dawn yet we are enjoying our Monday morning! Seas are calm and we are making an excellent heading East South East; under full sail we are on Island Packet Autopilot, with the helm locked down almost centered and the sails balanced, she is tracking very true. Just as well we found some wind at 6am, after motoring for 16 hours, not because we are running low on fuel - we are not- but because the darn B&G autopilot was playing up and then stopped altogether at 10pm. So thank you Island Packet for the full keel and the well-balanced cutter sailplan!
All aboard are well and we are looking forward to mostly fair winds now until we find the Trade Winds for the sleigh ride down to St Martin.

In 2014 Adventuress sailed to Europe. She made landfall in Muxia Spain; then England. After cruising the English South Coast, and the Channel Islands, she wintered at Woodbridge, England. The next three summers we cruised England, Holland, Norway, Denmark, France, Spain, Portugal, and Gibraltar. For the foreseeable future Adventuress will sail in Europe. UPDATE: it's October 2021 and we are sailing her back to the USA: Transat passage will be Nov/Dec: expect to be in Florida end of January.
